    I think that would be a great idea.

    EarCandy Cabs - Beware: Crazy Ahead

    If there are any, like me, who have been lurking on this thread but have not spoken up, I encourage you to post. Even if you've only hit the three month mark. Once you get an excuse email, or no response, it qualifies you as a sucker, too, if you think it won't happen to you.

    EarCandy Cabs - Beware: Crazy Ahead

    I found this thread (along with many others like it) oh maybe a year ago, instead of before making the order. Duh. Kept giving him chances since there were some reports of very long - up to 4 years - delivery time. Just wanted the cabinet to finally get done, then deciding finally it was time...

    EarCandy Cabs - Beware: Crazy Ahead

    And... he is still at it. Yes, I'm an idiot who didn't research before making an order. That was over two years ago. I'm not going to go through the litany of delays, lame excuses, broken promises... this thread plus others all over the internet suffice to describe this fraud. At the same...

    Plucking hand speed & tone: can we learn from spanish guitar player?

    Great stuff. Obviously, I have to amend my original reply of "no" to say I don't know what I'm talking about (except that Di Piazzi doesn't stab, either). I saw Ravi Shankar a few weeks ago with his daughter Anoushka and have since been contemplating how to incorporate certain aspects of...

    Plucking hand speed & tone: can we learn from spanish guitar player?

    I see I'm not the only one with clacking problems because of this same thing. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f21/clicking-off-frets-technique-issue-setup-issue-amp-issue-930817/ The relevance to this thread is, a stabbing technique useful for playing another stringed instrument may not...

    Plucking hand speed & tone: can we learn from spanish guitar player?

    That was an interesting set of videos. The first one took me up a few notches, that was excellent to the point of absurd. Just a matter of personal taste but why throw virtuoso talent at something with mandatory gutteral trash-the-cords-trying-to-reproduce-an-octaver vocals? Real demons don't...

    Plucking hand speed & tone: can we learn from spanish guitar player?

    Maybe you have 'the touch' to make it work. I wish it would work for me, since I'd be at least months ahead in getting basics down. It was a lot of work (several decades ago) to master a relatively heavy hand with the poke to get good intonation on a nylon string, as compared to finger...

    Plucking hand speed & tone: can we learn from spanish guitar player?

    Greetings. I was perusing threads for tips on techniques when this one caught my eye. I'm new to bass (February 2012), coming from a mediocre guitar background which included formal study in classical guitar. My first inclination is to answer the topic's question with NO. I suppose there...
